It's been a busy year of brewery growth and I wanted to post some pictures of the progress we're making on our very limited budget. As the sales of Dos Aves continue and with a small influx of additional capital we have been able to move up to a 3bbl brew system. We were brewing eight back-to-back 10 gallon batches in a 12 hour day which was literally killing me. Now, with a single batch in 5 hours we have the same amount of wort going in the fermentor. Sweet.
But the intense labor continues with our glamorized homebrew systems and still we are able to produce enough beer to be selling 80 cases per month and the sales are growing month by month. Below is some of the equipment we are using to get the job done.
Water pump station where we move R.O. water to the brew system and tap water to the wort chiller along with pumping reclaimed chilling water and water for cleaning. |
Here are some filled kegs waiting their turn in the coolers. |
The bottling line. We are able to bottle 4 per minute with this system and note that the bottle sanitizer has been upgraded since this picture with a 24 bottle spray sanitizer. (pictures coming soon)Please visit us at Cerveceria Dos Aves we welcome your comments and hope to see you in San Miguel to share a Dos Aves beer soon! Cheers and thanks again to all those that have supported this effort! |
